Corrupt Masternode Walet after RC3 soft fork

Not really, I consider it a bigger fail in logic to consider the 1 exception to the rule rather than consider the other hundreds of clients. Given the fact of the percentages, it is much much more likely that some sort of download or hardware problem on your end that corrupted the wallet than an issue with the source.

I hope you get your coins back. You should have brought this discussion up in the support sub-forum. You would likely find more help there.

JGCMiner, I didn't do anything special. I used the newest closed source masternode darkcoind from this thread to create a wallet on a ubuntu machine and it failed to work.
You can pretend there are no issues because no one yet has reported them but me but that would be a major failure in logic.

That is the second or third time you say "closed source" which makes me extremely suspicious.
Ok then. If darkcoind is corrupt, how did you manage to create an address to send it to?

you wrote

Read my above post, I downloaded the new darkcoind, created an address sent money to it. Then the program crashed and my wallet is corrupt

Your server crapped out on you. Corrupted the file. Not darkcoind. Sorry dude. Probably a spike? If on RAID, data recovery?
You keep suggesting its darkcoind, but that makes no sense at all.

Please open a new thread to specifically address an attempt to recover your data.

Suspicious about what? The masternode client is closed source, you don't like me stating facts? I normally compile all my cyrptocurrency clients from source.

My server never crapped out, the darkcoind client crashed and the server was fine. What else would it be if it wasn't darkcoind? It is the software I used to make the wallet, it is the software that crashed and can no longer open the file it generated.

You seem to be so blinded by the need to protect your investment we can seem to talk about any issues that arise.

Please people don't antagonise him at the moment, as the RC3 software is bleeding new and just released - nobody could know for sure what happened. However, I am afraid that if your file is full of junk, nothing could be done to salvage it except extensive recovery procedures by specialist :-/
One must say however that your backup procedures were unfortunately insufficient for such catastrophic event
 
This is what happens when you make hysterical posts in the wrong thread claiming that the client that everybody is using is broken -- not to mention you have provided almost no proof that any of this happened and your conclusion of "it is darkcoind" ignores many other more likely possibilities.

Well I did provide proof, and if you actually cared to know more instead of trying to shut me down you could have asked for more and I would have happily provided it.

This is the kind of response I expected, but maybe its because I develop software and didn't expect everyone here to just be investors but actually developers.

From what I can tell is my file is full of junk as well, especially after comparing it to my mac wallet.dat file. I may have already created too many new files on the linux machine in an attempt to salvage it to get it back.

I ran ./darkcoind getnewaddress masternode

Is there any chance this outputs the private key in any log when this is done?
 
You are the one with the lost coins. You should post everything you have because even if it is not me somebody else may come along and help.

Can't figure why you wouldn't do this.

Ppl please correct me if I'm wrong, but you need access to your private key, from wallet.dat, to generate new public keys. By all means, you could still try EDIT you mean ran before the crash - still don't think it would help
Regarding the recovery procedures, I respectfully disagree - even if you did use your server and create new things on the disk, there is still a good chance that some original data remained within your drive. I mean for USD 10k as of today, I would suggest that you turn off the server right now in order to avoid to create additional noise on your drive and think on your options

No my friend. The fact is that everyone here knows its closed source (for the time being) and have zero issues with that. If it bothers you that much, why did you even try to set up a Masternode if you're against it being closed source?

Please do put the file on dropbox and post the link so we can have a look at it. And dont make excuses that you did not encypt it.

And for a software developer, you dont seem to have done your homework right. If you loose 10k on a drive, you dont use it at all, to have a chance to recover. Plus, I've never seen this. And no, this will certainly no this will not get your pvt key. Bitcoin since 2009 and software dev? Really?
./darkcoind getnewaddress masternode

So, if this is sincere, I understand your angst. Calm down, post the wallet.dat and let US try to help YOU, instead of you antagonizing us.

Did I not do this? Did I not post the output of the darkcoind, did I not provide the TXID and the address it was sent to? Did I not specify the exact version I was running? You are pretending like I never provided any of this information.

yidakee had a good suggestion. Plus in your reply you implied you had unposted information. Let's see it all -- I think that gives you the best chance.
 
blackempress and his/her emphasis of "closed source", see what you are trying to do.

I was stating facts and you are putting your own spin on them.

Which file? The darkcoind or the borked wallet.dat file?

I see that you are not a software developer and simply a investor who doesn't realize why I would mention that. You guys are too blinded by your own investments to even consider that a bleeding edge release could have any issues. You are harassing a long time supporter and making the community look like assholes.

Mr software dev, bitcoiner since 09', my ass. Post the wallet.dat or shut up and troll elsewhere.
EDIT: Long time supporter, yet registered this Monday. right.
